They are made of plastic.


Will the LS1 pump deliver fuel like the LT1 did? What is the delivery fuel pressure set to on an LS1?

Also, all I really care is that there is an equal # of hoses coming off both tanks.

I need to look at my manual.

It would be cool if someone had a picture/diagram for the GM manual to show...

 

Anybody try this yet?

If somebody would do it first then I would do it too.

 

This is still tempting me also....... I may try to find a tank from a wrecked LS1 now that it is starting to warm up. I think this swap is doable. I'll keep ya posted. Check out my web site to see the finished result on how I relocated the alternator and retained a/c and p/s.

 

I posted this same question a while back and didn't get too much response? oh well, if it can happen i would love to know. that is a great weight savings!



CamaroSS,

how did you relocate the alternator???????? i couldn't find it on your website (cool site though!)

 

SAR2K ( Stephen Stumpf) from ls1.com was going to try it awhile back... But I dont know the outcome....

 

Taner.........I don't have detailed instructions up yet. I do have pics of the relocated alternator setup on my site. If you can't view them, let me know and i'll email them to ya.

 

TTT.... Any more info on this?

 

The LS1 f-body doesnt have a return line. LT1's do.

Magnus (Keith) swapped his 3.8 V6 for an LS1 into his 97 Firebird. He had to change tanks as well. You could email and ask him about the swap if you wanted to.

 

16 lighter, i weighed mine
and if you put in 1 more gallon of gas that drops to around 7 pounds lighter
worth the work to ya
changing the tank sucks, but if you have say a dented tank like the fella above I'd say it's worth it
as for what else needs to be done, i'm not saying until i'm done

 

Make sure to post back what all was involved with the swap when you're done.

 

Ditto

 

Oops, wow this is an old thread

 

wow that is an old *** thread, but did anyone ever figure out if the swap is possible?

 

if someone gives me a tank i will try it! how is that for an attempt at getting this going. i used to have a connection to do this, no longer. the f body tanks were produced in windsor.
